Palacio Vera, Art Nouveau building in Avenue de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Palacio Vera extends over five stories with curved balconies, iron railings, and red granite details on its ground floor windows.

Austrian architect Arturo Prins designed this building for rancher Eustoquio Díaz Vélez, completing construction in 1910 during Argentina's Centennial celebrations.

The ground floor houses El Túnel bookstore, which specializes in antique books, first editions, and rare manuscripts from Argentina's literary heritage.

Visitors can observe the architectural details of the building while walking along Avenue de Mayo between Chacabuco and Piedras streets.

A rectangular stained glass skylight illuminates the interior marble staircase, which features travertine balustrades and intricate wooden ornaments.
